  • I need a vehicle that will allow me to drive from house to work and other convention type locations, I have GPS on the phone and not big into radio/cd listening. Mainly highway driving, good storage space, all the usual safety things be nice, maybe a hatchback or fold the back seats down to add more space. Not that picky.
    Can you drive a stick-shift?

    I'm not sure if they still make them, but my dad had an old Saab 900. Great hatchback, could fit an entire house, and had turbo. Also a really fun car to drive.

    I used to have a Volvo station wagon. Built like a tank and could handle Rochester winters just fine. It does look super dorky, though.
  • Big cars are nice. Try to get an old police Crown Victoria Interceptor. Those things are fantastically maintained.

    Actually never learned how to drive stick *ducks*.

    I assume it is not that bad, but would take some time to get used to. I am hearing good things about the Honda Fit and it is hitting the cheap car with lots of cargo space. Couple people tell me to stay away from Fords or to just grab a Mitsubishi for the 10 year warranty. I am thinking of something under $20k, thanks for the help again guys.

    I loved my Honda fit. It had good economy and pep, it also was surprisingly roomy for a car of it's size for the people I drove around and cargo.

    That's okay, it just narrows your choices.

    I drove a Crown Vic once. It was like driving a boat that can squeal it's tires.

    Hell yeah, man. You should've seen my friend drive that thing, taking curvy-ass country roads at 100 MPH, moving into the opposite lane on the more visible curves to keep from fishtailing. It was fuckin' stupid but I'd never seen somebody drive a land-boat with that kind of control before or since.

  • If you like boats then might I suggest an old Caddy Deville?
  • I'd put my vote in for a Mercury Grand Marquis if you want a boat.
  • If you want a boat, get a Lincoln. It's like a bed on wheels.
  • You should get the Aquada, it's a car that's literally also a boat.
  • If you want a boat, you should get an Ericson 29. It's actually a boat.

  • That car is not fake.
  • That car is not fake.
    But if he did want a fake car.
  • Ah... Thought you implied something, my bad.

    Snoop: He mean Cadillac but he dun know it.
  • If fake cars are an option, than I know what I'd buy:

  • So I have an actual serious question for you guys.

    A close friend of mine hates her job. She teaches preschool and, while she loves working with the kids, she hates everyone she works with (and she's also not making very much money - which she would be able to cope with, if she actually enjoyed her job). She's worked at a few other preschools and had the same problem, so she's willing to leave the field if that's what it takes. She's got a BS in applied math and is ridiculously smart, but she hasn't actually used her degree (aside from a few tutoring jobs on the side) since she graduated a few years ago. I really want to help her, but I have no idea how to look for jobs that aren't in the IT field. What can I do?
  • Is it any faster for a leftie to do an Iraqi Reload?
  • Is it any faster for a leftie to do an Iraqi Reload?
    Depends on the rifle and the shooter.

    Depends on the rifle and the shooter.

    When I was younger and shot more often I always used right handed rifles so I could reload without taking my sights off the target. Probably not any more expedient than that for me personally.

    USA Jobs is a great resource for new/recent grads, and even has a page dedicated to jobs based on college degrees. past that, I don't really know.


    If I wanted to record a sit-down interview, what kind of equipment should I use?
    Post edited by Banta on
  • Depends.
    Will you be filming it? If so, does microphone visibility matter? Where are you conducting the interview? What equipment do you already have, if any? What is your budget for new equipment? How much time for set-up/tear-down do you have? Do you have control over the HVAC system (vent direction, on/off, etc)?
